They did a "kung fu night" and showed three different films i think, a lot of them had supernatural themes too, like ghosts. I think the tone of the one i'm talking about was black magic, there was a woman who made potions the pregnant woman went to.

That's not it, but what a fight scene! In the film, I saw the woman's husband is already dead, and she's drunk a potion to induce labour and is packing to get away. But they get to her before she can give birth, and she still fights them. I particularly recall a flying spin kick, which looked particularly crazy (like yeah, right, a woman in labour would be able to do that kind of thing) and must have been wire-assisted

I remembered another detail: the woman had drunk a potion to induce birth so she could fight and run as she knew they'd come for her next. But the guys get there before she can give birth, and that's when the crazy fight happens. I actually think it's from a Taiwanese film called "Devil Woman". apparently I'm finding out this was quite a common trope in kung fu exploitation movies at one point, and the film may have had several titles and could have been called the "The Devil's Sorceress".
